HOW TO: Combine Facebook and Twitter for Live Chat

There aren’t a lot of solutions that connect Facebook friends to Twitter followers. In general, these two groups are separate, but there a lot times where we want to bring them together – i.e. to chat about a new business idea. When you have a group, you want to create a chat, but getting people from both sides together (and spreading the word about it) isn’t easy.

Enter SavorChat. Created by Marc Stedman (a co-founder of Savor the Success), the new social media discussion tool is the one of the most elegant group chat solutions we’ve ever come across. Its selling point? Facebook () friends and Twitter () followers can chat with each other seamlessly. Try it out for yourself in Mashable’s SavorChat.

First, its core feature: you can log into the chat either via Facebook Connect or Twitter OAuth. This simple and elegant solution works almost seamlessly. Once you’re logged in, all your chat updates will have your profile picture and an icon indicating whether you came from twitter or Facebook. Clicking on the picture takes you to a person’s profile page.

As a room creator, you have a lot of control over the room’s feel. Primarily, you can set set a chat duration and, best of all, you can set a Twitter hashtag that will be tweeted out anytime someone tweets fro mthe room. You can choose to send any of your chat updates via the microblogging tool by clicking a simple checkbox.

We’re fans of anything that better connects people across the web. Alone, the chat interface is great, but its integration with both Twitter and Facebook gives it a personal feel and make it accessible to practically everyone on the web. Now when you want to chat with Facebook and Twitter friends, you’ll have a quick and easy solution.
